president obama with storm damage yesterday with the new jersey governor and romney surrogate, chris christie. it was sort of a love fest. will obama try to squeeze some political mileage out of that in wisconsin today? >> reporter: well, if you ask the campaign that, carol, they would tell you absolutely not. it's not about politics when it comes to the storm and his response to it. but the fact is, any observer will tell you, it certainly gave president obama a chance to flex his presidential muscles and do it in a way that i think a lot of people would say was effective at a time when mitt romney was really trying to continue with some momentum. so what we do know is that things are going to start to get back to normal a little bit politically here in green bay. i've heard from a campaign source that president obama will be talking about the storm off the top of his remarks here, which will be in the 11:00 a.m. eastern hour. but then he's also going to be making his case for why he should be re-elected. so that's going to be some of the political stuff, obviously, that we've been

how do you think president obama will be able to campaign? will he be able to campaign, and what do you think about governor romney? let's listen to the audio of david axelrod answering that question. >> i'm not going to tell governor romney what to do and, frankly, i don't think he is going to ask for my opinion either, but as far as the president goes, he has real responsibilities, and he, you know -- those responsibilities come first, and, you know, he is in constant contact with craig fugate, janet napolitano and all those with responsibility here and is going to monitor this. obviously, it's a very, very concerning situation. you know, in temz of the logistics, you know, we're obviously going to lose a bunch of campaign time, but that's as it has to be, and we'll try and make it up on the back end. so for us it's not a matter of optics. it's a matter of responsibility, and governor romney can decide for himself what he wants to do. >> and there you have david axelrod, chief strategist for president obama just a short time ago explaining
